[Tango-L] The Milonga solution

[Michael]

Mario:
Did you realize the man's left hand didn't "stir the pot" like the last video you showed. Nobody's foot should get stepped on in milonga so there's no reason for the man to step outside to prevent something that shouldn't happen anyway.

I'd rather be dancing Argentine Tango

This couple's Milonga dance is a breath of fresh aire and very instructional
to the up-tight and can't-get-it-right Tango dancers who usually sit out this song.
First of all; all steps are in Parallel footing and there is never a doubt about what
is happening for either partner. Secondly; 90% of the steps are done outside position.
This way we have outside parallel stepping and no body gets their foot stepped on...
(just in case that is what the non-Milonga dancers worry about all the time)
The third ingrediant is the ability to dance..not just move from one pose to another.
Or better put; a sense of rhythm ..one that effects the whole body and not just the mine.
Anyway, check this video out and try imitating it at home, it's safe!
